Promotions come and go. That ridiculous nickname you earned during your first month in the unit? You’re taking that one to the grave.
The Rank Is Temporary, Nicknames Are Forever T-Shirt features a row of battered military lockers covered with proper nameplates and the highly improper nicknames that somehow became permanent. Its distressed, vintage military style captures one of the most enduring truths of military life: nobody remembers what rank you were when the nickname stuck.
A great choice for active-duty service members, veterans, maintainers, barracks survivors, and anyone still answering to a name they never chose.
If you’re looking for a thick, structured tee that’s also super soft and breathable—look no further! The unisex garment-dyed heavyweight t-shirt ticks all the boxes and is made of 100% ring-spun cotton. The regular t-shirt style will complement most looks and fit you to a tee.
• 100% ring-spun cotton
• Fabric weight: 6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²)
• Garment-dyed
• Relaxed fit
• 7/8″ double-needle topstitched collar
• Twill-taped neck and shoulders for extra durability
• Double-needle armhole, sleeve, and bottom hems
• Blank product sourced from Honduras
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
